2. Answer one (1) and any other three (3) questions.
3. Keep all parts of the same question together.

QUESTION NO. 1.0

(a) IEE or JS21 regulation prescribe that consumer's main switch gear shall provide means
of interrupting the supply in the event of excess current or dangerous earth
leakage current Isolation. Describe equipment which will meet these requirements, and
show in each case how the regulation will be satisfied.

the components used giving their function and specification.

QUESTION NO. 2.0

(a) Explain the reasons for the use of high voltage transmission in power distribution and
methods of stepping up and down the voltage at the supply and at the consumer’s
premises

(b) Using suitable diagrams explain the principle of generating and transmitting electrical
energy in Jamaica, giving typical voltage values at the generation, transmission and
distribution stages.

(i) Broad base receptacle.


(ii) 110V/15 A convenience outlet 3-pin.
(iii) 8-way 2 phase panel.
(iv) PVC junction box.

For each of these accessories describe or state what particular qualities you would
demand.
